Best read of not only the run, bur AFAIAC of all of ACG's "horror" comics.  All 4 stories are winners.

Yup, and I picked up this issue based on your recommendation. Didn’t disappoint!

Ok, cheating here a bit. Not technically pre-code or even “horror” but since I’m pretty much finished with PCH, I’ve been picking up reasonably priced Everett and other artists I like from the 10 cent Atlas era.

Here are a few cool ones picked up from Mr Bedrock and Dale at Torpedo.

Quite un-dead

Mystical and World of Fantasy were Atlas's post code entries.  Those particular copies aren't seen much, good finds!

My one and only pickup from SDCC, but it’s a beauty!

Finally picked up the last book I needed (at SDCC) for Mysteries (Weird and Strange) issue six a beater but been looking for quite a while, so paid the bucks to have a copy.

Some other finds at SDCC

Congrats on completing the run!  I think I too have most -if not all- of the run.  The last book's cover illustration is from a story panel in either this title, or one of Superior's other horror comics.

Yes, Atlas did a masterful job of displaying terror on the victims faces in their horror fare.  Part of what scared the hell out of me when I saw them at the news stand when I was a little one.
